Why would Arrow follow a LOT timeline though? I don't want this. Go away.

On Arrow, only the writers get amnesia.

The writers and various Star City citizens who contract the extremely specific form of amnesia that causes them to forget what GA’s jawline and other clearly visible facial features look like when looking at Oliver Queen and vice versa.

Also if Oliver loses a limb it would IMO be the death knell for the show and completely idiotic.  I would stop watching.

After everything they’ve already put him through, at that point it’s just torture porn.  

[Chaser]

In the 6x22 director’s BTS shot, some think Oliver is shirtless in bed on the camera. It’s a little to blurry for me to be convinced.

That’s sort of rude. You don’t have to share your spoilers, but don’t tease just to leave people salivating.

Pregnancy can't be undone i guess ( well you know what I mean) but I don't think they'll go there. A rape can change you forever but ditto on not going there since they've glossed over it before when it would have happened to Oliver and Sara. I could actually see loosing a limb of some kind as "shocking twist" but it would be difficult to keep up in non GA scenes and training scenes even if it's a foot.

I wouldn't mind temporary amnesia as long as it didn't get used as a free pass for a break up and dating someone else for a few eps, which it totally would. And it wouldn't change things forever. That said even the "can't undo it stuff has a high chance of being ignored or forgotten see: exploding island. Though after the guff they got from that maybe there are slightly more consequences.

Guys you're not supposed to jump on the limb train!!!! You are supposed to say "Oh Mellow, don't be a moron, of course he's NOT going to lose an arm. Be off with you!"

*freaks out*

Don't be a moron, of course not. ?

To my knowledge Oliver/GA never lost a limb in the main comics (maybe some AU or Future World that ends up never happeneing).

Roy/Arsenal is the one that lost an arm in the comics. I know that MG was asked several times by comic book sites about Roy's arm and he always said the same thing, they wouldn't do it because of the logistics and CGI factor. Too much of a pain. 

[Trisha]

I also think that if Oliver was losing a limb, SA would be hyping the finale more. It would be a super emotional plot line, and we know how much he loves playing new facets of Oliver (remember how he caped the “Oliver discovers he’s a father” plot, even back when it was turning his character into a lying jerk?)

I also think David “Loose Lips” Ramsey would have hinted at it if it was something that intense. But beyond the GA being outed or Oliver killing someone close to him, I can’t think of what else cannot be undone and is bigger that the island blowing up (per SA), would leave Oliver alone (per DR) and is something no other superhero show has done (per MG).

[apinknightmare]

Since SA seems pretty clear that Oliver isn't getting outed as GA, my best guess is that whatever it is that happens can technically be undone and is actually something that a superhero show has done before. Just going by Arrow logic.

Show of hands- if Oliver accidentally killed one of the noobs could you get over it? Lol. 

[Mellowyellow]

They bring someone back from the dead and don't dare kill them again?

Oh Oliver plzzzzz kill Curtis and I will love you even more than I love Ray!!!!!!

[Featherhat]

Kill off all/most  of the E1 characters and relocate to like the E4 versions? Unlikely and would be more hyped I'd think and would mess up the crossovers. It was all a dream since Swhenever... Also unlikely. It has almost certainly been done somewhere before whatever it is.

In the comments, someone asked for an O/F tease, and Tara replied: "All I can say is that Stephen and Emily are fantastic!" ...

Sounds like we might get a Diaz and Felicity scene in 622.

Quentin's death could be something that can never be undone.

True but comic book shows have been killing off bigger characters than Quentin and not bringing them back forever. 

I'm always slightly concerned when two characters are described as 'fantastic ' in a finale, no guarantee of what the hell is going on with them. Unlikely but if DDDragon actually does get to kill Felicity after all that I doubt I'll even want to watch LOT next season.

So Felicity has a season long personal vendetta with Chase and yet has no scenes with him but Avacado scores a Felicity scene. Sounds about right.

My guess is the tweet about KA giving a Felicity spoiler. Actors generally only talk about scenes they're in so maybe the have a scene together

Felicity is not going to die. DR already said Diggle and Felicity are fine and everyone is coming back next year...except for the Death. Since he specified that he and Felicity are fine, it's a safe bet that they aren't the death.

Let's be real all signs gave pointed towards Lance since he started this crazy make BS into E1LL crap in 610. Add in CL showing up in 623 and its almost a done deal.

I was speculating from the fan's tweets posted upthread about KA giving Felicity spoilers and the fan being excited about 622.

Ah, ok. It was specifically the 622 part that was confusing. My pre-caffeinated brain didn't make the connection with her followup post.

I changed my mind - I agree, Quentin's death wouldn't fit SA's quote...

 -- SA: "I think that we will do what we typically do, which is, we do a basic time cut. So if we wrap up Season 6 in May, when we find our characters in Season 7 in October, um, I know - again, I know where Oliver begins the year. And I know that it is something on the show - more so than anything that we've ever done, more so than blowing up the island - it is something on the show that we can never undo. If that makes sense. And if it doesn't make sense, even better."

[Morrigan2575]

Since he ruled out a public outing of any kind, my guess that GA is a criminal and goes on the run is also ruled out.

Hey maybe they do a Buffy and the city collapses (stupid hell mouths), forcing everyone to leave town ?

[apinknightmare]

If Stephen is being honest and there really isn't any kind of outing, I wonder what happens with the FBI charges? If Oliver's found guilty it seems likely that everyone would then know that he was indeed Green Arrow - although I guess he could be being super specific and not technically consider that a legit "outing"? Otherwise I guess those charges amount to nothing?

True. Dark Knight was never that interesting to me so I tend to block it out 

[BkWurm1]

And he faked his death.  

But on this show a faked death is very reversible.  Could it be something as simple as Oliver cutting a deal to work for the Government?

[bethy]

What if William dies? That could send Oliver into a very dark, solitary place.

Colton Haynes is returning as a series regular for season 7!

Killing him off would give MG plenty of drama that he thrives on.

I see that they're trying to bring back some of the audience for next season. Though here lies the issue: Roy's coming back, but what about Thea? He just left with her and Nyssa. They clearly have them as an endgame couple. I can't see MG splitting Roy and Thea up after just putting them back together. And I'm pretty sure Willa's not going to come back after just ending her contract. So they still have a little bit of a dilemma. 

[calliope1975]

Well, color me confused. I have no idea where this is going. But I like Roy and I like CH, so it's a win for me.

Seriously! I'm excited but not..  they just wrote him off with Thea and already have to backtrack on it. If KC sticks around and Q doesn't die, I could be vreallky excited for s7.

[apinknightmare]

So which one of the newbies is dying/leaving so Roy can take their place?

[Belinea]

Well, regardless I hope they explain that well because I trust them not to kill her off. 

Also, I hope they don't do any time reversal or any of that stuff for that to make sense.

Can we make a poll? At this point, I'd prefer Rene but wouldn't hate for it to be Curtis either. 

[Velocity23]

I think Colton is getting a KC type of episode order. 

[JJ928]

Please someone from the noobs has to leave. This actually could be a good thing, now can we get Willa back at least recurring and throw away all the noobs? Lol

Sadly, I think she is done with the show.

I'm taking the win, as I'm a massive fan of CH and Roy (Roy really won me over for good in season 3, when he ended up being one of the only bright spots of that season).

My hope is Rene. I know Dinah's not going anywhere, so fat chance of her leaving. I think we are also stuck with Curtis. 

[calliope1975]

I think Willa is done as well. Sucks because I like Roy and Thea. All that arm talk has me worried for Roy's arms now.

Rene would be the easiest one to write out because of his kid and his injury, but RG was pretty enthusiastic about the S7 announcement, as was JH. I hope at least one if not all of NTA leaves, but I'm not that lucky.

[Primal Slayer]

I wonder if they will at least try to get Wills back for an episode or 2 to transition Roy back to Star City. This is already going to take some good writing to undue what they've done. 

And they've already end gamed him with Thea so that will be a little bit boring. I really wanted him/Chesire to be a storyline 

[Velocity23]

I really think Quentin is a goner. And Sara comes back to his funeral.

[Primal Slayer]

I agree but I hope not. Killing off Lances got old once Sara came back the first time. 

[Guest]

I was not expecting that at all, especially as they just gave Thea and Roy a nice happy ending. I like Roy but I hope this means we're getting rid of some of the newbies because the team is just way too big.

[apinknightmare]

If Lance isn't dying, I hope he takes a trip Offscreensville to get his head right.

Well according to David someone is dying. 

[tangerine95]

This is really surprising.I like Roy so I'm glad but idk how that's gonna work if he's back on the team which seems pretty likely.Seven people on the team is kinda crazy.I hope they get rid of at least one newbie.
